The Best Treat Pouches for Dog Training in 2023

That's why you'll want to select a pouch that gives you quick and easy access to those high-value training treats. You'll also want to consider your personal preferences (do you prefer a fanny pack or something that clips onto your belt?) and the type of treats you give your dog. Whether you're trying out a new dog sport or taking a walk in the neighborhood, a treat pouch is a must-have item for every dog owner.

‌Type of Treats:‌ When selecting a treat pouch, it's a good idea to consider what types of treats you use most often during training. For dogs who like freshly cooked meat, or other soft and messy treats, it might be a good idea to purchase a treat pouch that is machine-washable or easy to disinfect after each training session.

‌Where You're Going:‌ Before adding a treat pouch to your online shopping cart, think about where you'll be going with your dog and how much you'll need to carry. If you and your dog go for long hikes or extended training outings, you may want to consider a treat pouch that holds a larger volume of treats, toys, waste bags, and other items you might need such as your keys, phone, wallet, or water bottle.

‌Preferred Style:‌ Beyond your dog's needs, your personal preferences should factor into your decision. Consider what type of bag you would feel most comfortable carrying. Treat pouches come in a variety of styles—some can be clipped to the waistband of pants or another bag such as a purse. Other treat pouches come with a waistband or a shoulder strap. Every dog owner will have their own preferences when it comes to aesthetics and carrying style.
